Five soybean varieties named top for 1955 by Iowa agronomists

Five soybeans Blackhawk Hawkeye Adams Lincoln and Clark are named top varieties for 1955 by C R Weber and Iowa State College. Blackhawk suits northern Iowa and matures seven days earlier than Hawkeye. Hawkeye dominates Iowa acreage and suits northern central regions with early planting recommended in northeast. Adams and Lincoln fit southern and central areas, Clark debuts with higher yields and later maturity in southern counties. Harosoy may be acceptable but not superior to Hawkeye for Iowa.
